Chalk is coming to downtown Janesville

JANESVILLE  The Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau is trying something new this fall to bring excitement to the downtown.

Executive Director, Christine Rebout says they're putting on a competition between individuals or groups of youths who want to create sidewalk art using chalk.

The contest runs October 15th and 16th. Rebout says there will be prizes for the winners in several age categories. A photo of the completed drawing will be used by the judges to determine the winners.

Registration is allowed on the days of the event, but Rebout says they encourage pre-registering.
